Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon (MBBS (Hons), PGDipSurgAnat, FRACS (Plast)), Registration Number: MED0001201827, Registration: Specialist, Registration Type: Surgery, Specialty Field: Plastic Surgery
Alenka graduated with first class honours from Monash University, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in 2005, and completed a Post-graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy at The University of Melbourne in 2007, as dux of the year.
Since receiving her FRACS, Alenka has chosen to further refine and develop her skills in the subspecialty areas of aesthetic and paediatric plastic surgery. She has been supported by scholarships from the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Fellow Scholarship) and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (Morgan-Opie Travel Scholarship) in order to undertake competitively appointed Australian and international fellowships.

Her Advanced Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Fellowship with the Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery in 2015 allowed her to gain experience in the fields of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, particularly in the areas of facial aesthetic surgery, breast surgery, abdominoplasty and body contouring surgery.

Alenka extended her training in nasal reconstruction and aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty through time spent at Klinik für Plastische Gesichtschirurgie Marienhospital in Stuttgart Germany, in 2016, and in general aesthetic plastic surgery at the Velthuis Kliniek, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in 2017.

Alenka’s interest in paediatric plastic surgery and cleft surgery was further enhanced through training as a Clinical Fellow in Cleft Surgery at the South Thames Cleft Service, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom, and at Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, as the Dutch Association for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (DAFPRS) Fellow.

Since returning to Australia in 2018, Alenka has held appointments as a consultant Plastic Surgeon at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Western Health hospitals and the Royal Melbourne Hospital. She is an accredited medical volunteer for Operation Smile and donates her time and surgical experience in cleft surgery during charity Mission trips to areas of need.
